As a center of culture and commerce, Manhattan is a hotbed of activity with an unending list of things to see and do. Residents and visitors alike can't help but tap into the excitement and energy surrounding them—from dining at a top restaurant in Union Square, to seeing dynamic theater on and off Broadway, to shopping in NoLita or the East Village. From Battery Park downtown to the Cloisters uptown, there are diversions everywhere worth discovering. It's hard to believe so much energy and activity fits into this small island, a mere 23.7 square miles (or 61.4 square kilometers).
